To be honest, you need to be careful about listening to the two reviewers you mentioned. They aren't total shills, and they do introduce many people to audio, but they have a tendency to overhype and to emphasize small (sometimes imperceptible) differences.
Unless it sounds very wrong, your headphones are probably not broken. I suggest learning how to use parametric EQ to find out what kind of sound you like.
